Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening
When you find that you left the future behind. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
Then you better beware of the happening

One day you're up, (One day you're up)
Then you turn around. (Then you turn around)
You find your world (You find your world)
Is tumbling down. (Is tumbling down)
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour. (It's the happening)
Yeah, riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams fell apart
When love walked away from my heart. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life (Now I see life)
For what it is. (For what it is)
It's not a dream. (It's not a dream)
Ooh, it's not all bliss. (It's not all bliss)
It happened to me and it can happen to you. (Once)
Ooh, ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, ooh, and then it happened

Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake? (It's the happening)
'Cause when I lost the love I thought it was mine for certain
Suddenly I started hurting
I saw the light too late
When that fickle finger of fate, (It's the happening)
Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up (to the happening)
So sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
Then you better beware of...
